Subaru Impreza Litchfield Type-25 :

415bhp, 0-60mph in 3.8secs.

Think it just tips the scale at $100k but they said on-road so that might be including rego and such.

3) It has to be street legal and registered.
4) You have to factor in the cost of running this car (fuel, insurance ect) on your actual salary/income.
5) No matter what change is left over you only recieve a MAX of $10,000 in cash as your prize. Example if you spent $90K on a car or $30K on a car you still only get $10K change from the $100K.
6) You may buy multiple cars up to $100K if you wish.

So what would you do?
Eu car would be Audi A4 v8
an Australian car new would be the GT with a yella terror blower kit and Brembos and some decent rubber .

I'd buy a used BF 2 GT-P, 6.oL darton wet sleeved alloy block with GT (4o) heads built by Al P, Custom twin turbo with dual 2oo shot of gas, elec height adjustable coil over's, and a set of 2ox12 HRE's.


You said if you modify the car before 2 year's, never said we couldn't buy a modded car to start with.

I'd get a few...

XB Coupe and Sedan/Saloon -40k?
XD -10k?
XE -10k?
XF -5k?
EL -10k?
AUIII - 15k?

Then save the remaining cash for a purchase towards a BFII.

I would go for basics personally. For me, it's about the car, not the image.

But I may also miss a couple of models instead and spend more on each car to afford a sports/performance or even luxury model.

Depends how I feel.

Don't know where I'd park them though.
